I bet there’s a language somewhere that sums that whole sentence up in one word.

My bet would be on a European one, potentially German, where it would be 35 letters that look exactly like a cat barfed on the keyboard

If it’s just a compound noun it’s no fun, because it’s just a literal translation of those same words except there’s no spaces between the individual words in German
